Jigsaw Sudoku
(Published on 25. April 2023, 01:35 by Scojo)
This puzzle was originally set in April 2023 for the Cracking the Cryptic Discord's monthly prompt of "Mrs Bussell's Puzzling Pieces."
Step 1:Assemble the jigsaw puzzle so that it forms a 9x9 sudoku grid that obeys normal sudoku rules. No rotation of pieces is required. Note: The pieces do not fit together perfectly. All that matters is that a male edge touches a female edge.
Step 2:When all jigsaw pieces are placed, replace the X's in the following url with all given digits from the puzzle, reading left to right, top to bottom: https://tinyurl.com/Jigsaw-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Step 3:The correct link will take you to the CTC software to solve the puzzle.
Tip for solving: When solving the jigsaw part of this puzzle, I recommend either downloading the psd file here so you can physically move the pieces around in photoshop, or using a blank grid to fit everything together.
Rules for the sudoku:- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- For any connection between two pieces, the cell with the larger digit has the male (outie) connector. In other words, the opening for any C shape faces the larger digit.
Solution code: Row 5 of the completed sudoku

Eine sehr schöne Idee! Ich habe kein Grafikprogramm benutzt und es einfach mit einem Stift auf ein Blatt Papier gemalt, ging prima.

Nice puzzle and I could use GIMP (Opensource and free) to open the photoshop file. Thanks

Fun idea! Would love to see a harder version of the jigsaw section that requires some interaction with sudoku to solve. Thanks for the set :)
